No, not our Sal but the speaker's wife, Sally Bercow, who after the recent row about sexism in the media and the consequences currently being sufferd by the totally innocent Sian Massey decides to help things along by posing for pictures wearing only a bedsheet then whines ''I didn't know I was going to be photographed in a sheet until I got there.'' So someone who is supposedly a clever career woman goes for the "sex" angle to publicise herself. A bit like Caroline Flint, who complained about the way she was brought into the cabinet as "window dressing" before striking an apparently sexy pose in the Guardian magazine. Tends to undermine the efforts of those of us tarred by the brush of the 15% of men who are apparently hard-wired with mysoginistic thoughts to re-educate them. Having been subject to a lot of anti-gay abuse when i was a child (in spite of being straight) i'm not usually a great fan of "ist" jokes, (racist, sexist,sizeist, etc) but i make an exception in the case of silly Sally's husband, the speaker John Bercow. David Cameron told an anecdote in which junior health minister Simon Burns’s driver reversed into the Speaker’s car in a Parliament courtyard. The Prime Minister described how the diminutive Mr Bercow appeared and told Mr Burns: “I’m not happy!” To which Mr Burns replied: “Well, which one are you?”

Didn't know she was going to be photographed in a sheet?! Did she not have the option of keeping her kit on? Nice gag, by the way.

I remember Sting's wife, Trudy Styler, getting stung a while back. She was sunbathing topless on a beach and granted an impromptu interview to a roving reporter, who asked for a photo to illustrate the piece. When Ms Styler asked the reporter to hang on a minute while she fetched a t-shirt the reporter reassured her "No need, we've already taken up enough of your time, we just want a head shot." The next morning, of course, the story appeared under the headline "It's Nudy Trudy!" with a topless photo. Sarah Kennedy, on the other hand, when she was presenting a comedy programme called "Game For A Laugh" where members of the public were "set up"was herself "set up" when the Sin called her in for an interview which turned out to be a page3 shoot. This "Sally" was not so silly and the only picture they got was of a fully-clothed Sarah leaving the set having turned down the offer of bikini bottoms from a topless girl. If i'd been doing a piece for TTFN about your bike ride and asked you to pose naked behind Guenevire, i can just imagine what you would've said and i don't think it would've been "give us a hand with this bra-strap, would you?" Mrs Roscoe thinks that Ms Bare-cow must be having a midlife crisis and really wanted to show off at the time, just feels silly about it now and doesn't want to admit it.

One of our more sleazy club officials said the other day that he'd only sponsor me if I did "a Lady Godiva." He was practically drooling down his chin as he said that. "Are you nuts?!" I replied. "There's no WAY I'm going to Coventry!"
